Sjamsoedin’s live reputation is growing, with shows at Down The Rabbit Hole, Amsterdam Dance Event, World Minimal Music Festival, Best Kept Secret, Solar and Milkshake this year, Sjamsoedin is already presenting his new material in a performance full of electronica, house and techno ingredients. All created live on stage by man and machine.

Electronic duo CUT_ took off rapidly after their rendition of Stromae’s ‘Papaoutai’ went viral. They has since then played numerous shows, including performances at Lowlands, Pitch and ADE.
“We feel our music is a crossover between dark alternative electronics and edgy pop music. Trying to combine our love for the two, we’ve been very inspired by a new style of songwriting that’s been greatly evolving the last few years. Acts such as Flume, Aluna George and Jamie XX paved a fresh way for us. One that we’re happy to walk.” (~ Belle Doron: vocals & songwriting)
CUT_’s finishing up their album and will be releasing singles of the forthcoming album very soon. Live a new dimension is being added to the show with a live drummer lifting the whole to another level.

Feiertag is the alter ego of the Dutch live-act Joris Feiertag. Recording and performing since 2015, his sound can be described as electronic yet warm, and with a preference for innovative syncopated rhythms combined with fragments of instruments such as the harp and kalimba. Integrated with a varied range of international vocalists, creating a beautiful mix of chill, vibrant music easy to listen to which in return translates beautifully to live electronic dance-music.
